G6R vs G6T

Quebec

This page does not pick a winner. Every row shows two measurements and the gap between them. There is no score, no tally of which area “wins” more categories, and no overall result — those would be a rating of two places and the people who live in them, assembled by the layout.

Both areas are forward sortation areas, and every figure describes the whole of one. Crime is not shown here: it is reported at the metropolitan level, so for two areas in the same city it is usually the same number twice. It is on each area’s own page, with the geography it describes.

Selected 2021 Census figures for G6R and G6T, with the national figure for scale. The last column states the gap between the two areas as a direction and a size, never as a preference.

Median household income	$91,000	$87,000	$84,000	G6R is about the same as G6T
Median after-tax income	$77,500	$75,000	$73,000	G6R is about the same as G6T
Median age	40.8	39.2	41.6	G6R is about the same as G6T
Unemployment rate	3.5%	2.9%	10.3%	G6R is 21% higher than G6T
Low income (LIM-AT)	7.4%	6.8%	11.1%	G6R is 9% higher than G6T
Average household size	2.6	2.5	2.4	G6R is about the same as G6T

Counts for each area. These describe the place and are not compared as ratios.

Land area	18 km²	43 km²

Share of each area’s residents with an amenity within reach, weighted by where people live. A blank is a coverage fact, not a zero.
Amenity	Within	G6R	G6T
Grocery store	1 km walk	15%	79%
Public transit	1 km walk	0%	0%
Park	1 km walk	48%	73%
Pharmacy	1 km walk	0%	15%
Child care	1.5 km walk	96%	94%
Primary school	1.5 km walk	0%	32%
Secondary school	1.5 km walk	0%	2%
Library	1.5 km walk	0%	0%
Health care	3 km drive	97%	99%
Employment	10 km drive	100%	100%

These measure how close an amenity is, never its quality. A school 500 m away is a school 500 m away — nothing here says anything about the school itself.
The proximity index is scaled against all of Canada, where 1 is the single most well-served block in the country and the national average is close to zero. It is useful for comparing places and misleading as a score.

What tenants pay, from CMHC’s survey of purpose-built rental buildings. The two areas may sit in different survey zones, or one may not be surveyed at all — that is a coverage fact and is stated rather than left blank.

The air quality index is a reading at the nearest station, which may be far away — the distance is shown because it decides whether the reading describes the area at all. Facility counts are reported releases within 10 km.

G6R: The nearest Air Quality Health Index location is Quebec, 105 km from G6R. That is far enough to be a different airshed, so its reading is not shown here as though it described this area. The index is published for about 130 communities and zones, not continuously across Canada.
G6T: The nearest Air Quality Health Index location is Quebec, 101 km from G6T. That is far enough to be a different airshed, so its reading is not shown here as though it described this area. The index is published for about 130 communities and zones, not continuously across Canada.

This page carries the figures the two areas can be set against each other on. Each area’s own page has the rest — including crime, the boundary map, and every source note and caveat in full.
